Flowering Cherry Pruning

What This Service Involves

Flowering cherries are grown for their spectacular spring bloom, and pruning must protect it. We prune lightly and at the right time – typically just after flowering – to avoid removing next year's buds, opening the canopy for air circulation, removing deadwood and suckers, and shaping the graceful form. Because cherries are disease-prone, we keep cuts clean and minimal and avoid wet conditions. The result is a healthy, well-shaped tree that keeps delivering its signature spring display.
